Thanks Shane, that is what I was afraid of. BTW I have Canadian settings.
Might just try US settings & see what happens.

The time the bootup logo is displayed is hard-wired. The short display is
the consequence of having British settings. Not sure why this is so in ME,
but it is. On British versions it just flashes by. You can make it last
longer by setting Windows up (in MSConfig/International) as, eg, American,
but better to have a fully-working keyboard than a pretty bootup splash.

I installed a custom logo.sys file & it works ok...but it flashes by in
about 3 seconds. Barely enough time to view it. Is there a way to
increase
the time it is displayed? Thanks for your help.
